Since I've lived a good portion of my life bound to a schedule or "horarium" (the Latin word for schedule and the term used during my convent days) my spirit really resists binding itself to a daily schedule at home.
As fate would have it, I have a child who does best with predictability and is uncomfortable when he doesn't know what's happening next. As for myself, if I don't set a time to have just 10 with my family, it doesn't happen.
Starting tomorrow, I spend just 10 with my son before he goes to school in the morning and just 10 with my daughter as soon as she gets home. I'll also make myself sit down with my husband and work out the best time for his 10 minutes.
Since there would be no freedom without structure, it's time to anchor myself to reality.
